'Call me to settle this karmic debt': Nicki Minaj claims Jay-Z owes her $100 to $200m
The Anaconda rapper was one of the original artists that went into partnership with Jay-Z's streaming platform TIDAL, launched in 2015. She was reportedly given 3 per cent equity in exchange for exclusive content and promotion.
In 2021, Jay-Z sold a majority stake in TIDAL to Jack Dorsey's Square for $302 million, and the fallout began when she was allegedly only offered $1 million from the sale.
Minaj has now blasted the music mogul and warned him the interest is building, while she pledged to use the money he allegedly owes her to pay off her fans - known as Barbz - tuition fees and student loans.
She raged on X/Twitter on Tuesday (08.07.25): "We've calculated about 100-200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It's only collecting more interest.
"You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let's get it n****. And anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy."
Minaj later added: "I'm going to use some of the money #JayZ owes me to send some of my Barbz to college, pay their school fees and student loans via my #StudentOfTheGame charity."
She also brought up Roc Nation's CEO Desiree Perez being pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Jay-Z's Roc Nation curates and produces the Super Bowl Halftime Show for the NFL, and during his performance on the pitch in February, Kendrick Lamar performed his Drake diss hit Not Like Us.
Referencing the Super Bowl, Minaj penned: "So wait. JayZ had not like us playing at the superbowl after his CEO was pardoned by President Trump????? We gotta find out who is 'they'. President Biden posting not like us after Desirat was pardoned by President Trump is so (sic)"

'Loved by so many': Michelle Trachtenberg's boyfriend Jay Cohen breaks silence on her death
Michelle Trachtenberg's boyfriend Jay Cohen has broken his silence following her death. The Gossip Girl actress tragically passed away aged 39 in February from complications of diabetes and her partner has been grateful for the support of those close to him as he spoke out on the grief he has experienced. Jay wrote on his Instagram page, which is private: "I am so grateful to all of you are in my life sharing our common joys, helping me with tragedies and healing from pain and grief. "I'm sure many of you know what I mean when I write that." Jay told a user who commented on the post that he would share more about the star "one day soon". He added: "Michelle was loved by so many." Michelle portrayed the troublesome Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl and her untimely passing was met with an outpouring of grief from the show's cast. Leighton Meester - who played the character of Blair Waldorf in the show that aired from 2007 until 2012 - described her co-star's death as "devastating". The 39-year-old actress told Flaunt magazine: "It's devastating. "She was a wonderful, talented person, and everyone loved her. "It's very, very sad for everyone who knew her." Leighton explained that Michelle's passing made her realise how powerful Gossip Girl's legacy is. She added: "Now, I can see that [the show's legacy] continues - in some ways, even more so than back then - to live on, which is incredible." Fellow cast member Penn Badgley explained that he found news of Michelle's death "surreal". He told E! News: "I can't claim to have known her well but it's surreal. Really surreal, really saddening. "What I remember of her is she was incredibly quick to laugh. She was really joyous. We all have our ups and downs, our lights and shadows, but she had this - I mean, she was mature, but she had this childlike, joyous laugh." Meanwhile Taylor Momsen - who starred as Jenny Humphrey - said that the tragic news had left her "heart on the floor". She wrote on Instagram: "In shock... When I met this girl 17 years ago I knew we'd be friends.. she was smart and sassy, bold and sensitive, funny as f*** and filled with fire. She was simply awesome. "I'll miss our late night calls that no one should ever hear but us. She was always in my corner and there to support me whether I was right or wrong. "I will miss you everyday my love.. I think we truly understood each other and I am so grateful to have had a friend like you in my life for so long.. (sic)"

Bollywood-infused rom-com makes song and dance (of course) of gay love
A Nice Indian Boy ★★★½ M, 96 minutes A Nice Indian Boy is a rom-com of sorts, and predictable in many respects, but it's far from a cynical cookie-cutter exercise. It clearly means the world to its director and its writers, each of whom is deeply invested in the material in their own way, and that gives it an air of sincerity that elevates it, even as it sometimes threatens to smother the life out of it. Naveen Gavaskar (Karan Soni) is a doctor, the son of Indian immigrants, a Hindu, a fan of Bollywood, and gay. It's a complex and sometimes contradictory masala. Naveen is obsessed with weddings – the film opens with a lavish bash for his sister Arundhathi (Sunita Mani) and her husband – but deeply conflicted, as there is no place in his religious, cultural or family tradition for a gay celebration. He feels excluded from the thing he most desires. There is also no potential husband until the charming and easygoing Jay (Jonathan Groff, the voice of Olaf and Kristoff in the Frozen films, and King George in Hamilton) enters his world. Theirs is a classic rom-com meet-cute: Naveen is praying to Ganesh at a temple when he senses Jay behind him. They don't talk, but when Jay later turns up to take photographic portraits at the hospital where Naveen works, the spark of romance is lit. Naveen is such a tightly wound coil, though, that he's forever on the brink of blowing up this fledgling relationship. He winces when Jay sings (in a complicated backstory, Jay was a foster child eventually adopted by Indian parents, and is a huge fan of Bollywood). He is ashamed of his family, but equally ashamed of Jay when he finally allows them to meet him. He is even afraid to admit he wants the big Bollywood spectacle as part of his own romantic wish fulfillment. That all makes Naveen difficult to root for, especially in the first half of the movie. It also makes it hard to determine whether his parents are really the reactionary villains he depicts them as. Mum Megha (Zarna Garg) and Dad Archit (Harish Patel) certainly have their idiosyncrasies, but their arranged marriage appears to have thrived in its own prickly way. There's more than one way to reach a happy ending.
